Acknowledging that Senate Republicans may not be able to pass their ObamaCare repeal legislation, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is warning that action will then have to be taken to stabilize insurance markets.
If my side is unable to agree on an adequate replacement, then some kind of action with regard to private health insurance markets must occur, McConnell said at a Rotary Club meeting in Kentucky on Thursday, according to multiple reports.
Republicans are trying to move legislation through the Senate that would repeal and replace ObamaCare, but they face opposition from within their own party.

He’s talking about the illegal CSRs (cost sharing reimbursements) to insurance companies.
Congress didn’t authorize them, but Obama paid them anyway. Trump has continued to but made clear he won’t for long.
A court has ruled them illegal (the ruling was put on hold at congress’s request LOL!)
Without those payments every insurance company would drop out or have to charge outrageous premiums.
POTUS needs to start inflicting pain on the swampers. Like a veto threat on any obamacare bill that does not remove their obamacare exemption.
NO!... McConnell is the Senate's Casper Milquetoast.
Just remember folks, one goal of the media is to DISCOURAGE us.
True. But it should also be clear by now that the big donors and GOPe absolutely want some form of socialized medicine.
Leaders shouldnt be useless, and McConnell clearly is. We need a hard-ass in there, and clearly McConnell isnt cutting it.
McConnell is where he is because the fops in the Senate GOP want a leader like this.
REPEAL (NO REPLACE) OBAMA CARE OR TAR AND FEATHER ALL OF THEM.
This is the cabal’s move to save Obamacare. I say if they can’t pass a bill, let Obamacare die on the vine.
Bunch of commie traitors.
Most republicans in congress and all democrats are NWO socialist/fascists.
He is the enemy.
Ah, there’s the rub; they’d have to vote themselves into it.
Un-freakin-believable.
This is from the Hill it might be fake news...But the GOP is useless..
WTF is wrong with these guys???? Repeal it and be done with it!!!!!
For once in his life? He’s 75 and I doubt he has many years left. Also if he hasn’t done so in that many years it’s not likely he ever will. I know what you’re saying but this guy is a turtle and he will never change.
It is not acceptable that there has been zero done on this. I have a 11,500 deductible so I never get to use it.
I’ll be sending what dollars I can to primary opponents.
Damn these establishment bastards.
Mitch seems more comfortable in the Loser Role.
Being on the front line of MAGA scares him silly.
“There’s no place to hide, out there where everybody sees you!”
Exactly; they know a crap sandwich when they see one.
